The trailer hints that the film will break down different emotional themes. The film is set to debut at the 29th Busan International Film Festival this October 2024.
Check out the trailer below:
Speaking about the film, Nidhi Saxena said, “My film is now stepping into the world, and though there’s a sense of thrill, my film is deeply personal, so there’s an undercurrent of fear also. It feels as if I’ve laid down all my defenses, standing bare, exposed before the world, consciously choosing to embrace both vulnerability and courage. The trailer and poster capture the suffocating loneliness and the feeling of being trapped— echoes running through this story’s heart. It’s about women bound by memory, lost in the past. In India, so many women carry this silence, and I hope the film speaks to them in ways that feel intimate and true".
Producer Vimukthi Jayasundara added, “Bringing ‘Sad Letters by an Imaginary Woman’ to life has been a fantastic journey, with every frame filled with embracing boldness and experimentation. It is deeply personal and the kind of pure, uncompromising cinema that I stand for. At the same time, this was Nidhi’s debut, so it indeed might prove to be a bold risk taken at a very initial level, but this is what I call ‘pure cinema’, it challenges the norms and dares to be different. It is not an easy path, but that’s what makes this experience so thrilling. I am proud to back such a unique and powerful story".
